John Solomon Drops a Tick-Tock Bombshell – DIA Holds Documents That Can Exonerate Flynn…
FTA:
Now, unbeknownst to us at the time FISA Presiding Judge Rosemary Collyer was writing a report based on NSA/FBI information given to her as part of a background FISA-702 review and reauthorization process.
In April of 2017 that FISC report was delivered to recently confirmed Office of Director of National Intelligence, Dan Coats; who also received a supplementary briefing on the background of the content by NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers. On April 26th that FISC report was partially declassified. [See Here]
Here’s where it all connects.
We know from Collyers report the FISA-702(16)(17) process was extraordinarily abused by verified “contractors” who had access to the FBI/NSA database. The rate of abuse was 85%. Meaning 85 out of every 100 FISA702 database searches were unauthorized and outside of compliance.
The FISA compliance review period was November 2015 through April 2016; however, Collyer went out of her way to note there was no reason to suspect the rate of unlawful use was confined to that compliance period. She pointed out there was no reason to suspect a similar rate of abuse did not extend back to 2012.
...
Those unlawful searches formed the basis for intelligence gathering and later unmasking. It is almost certain part of the system abuse was toward political targeting.
...
The explosive Collyer FISA report was delivered to ODNI Coats in late April 2017. John Solomon mentions May 2017 as the date of the documents that would help to clear Michael Flynn.
It is likely, almost certain, the intelligence community (including DNI and DIA) were in a state of conflict over what to do with the intelligence files opened on the FISA targets.
Some of the intelligence product was lawfully compliant; some of the intelligence product was created without lawful compliance; all of the intelligence product resulted in singular files on each of the targets; and at least some of the intelligence product also included unauthorized unmasking and distribution as Chairman Nunes described on March 22nd, 2017.
As a result, the intelligence community leadership -under the Trump administration, but from no bad action on their part- was in a bit of a pickle.
...
The Flynn docs likely are a product of surveillance on him during the campaign; and more specifically, exoneration evidence during the transition period after the election.
However, declassifying those documents means revealing how that exculpatory documentation was obtained. Now we are approaching the FISA-702 electronic surveillance process. See the issue?
The intelligence community cannot, hell, will not, put part of their critical intelligence gathering system at risk simply to provide exculpatory information.
Ask yourself this rather complex question: There has been a great deal of talk about demanding that President Trump declassify a specific set of documents that swirl around “spygate”…. but have you ever noticed that no-one, not once, not a single official, has ever even discussed the need to declassify the Collyer FISA report?

Great post mairdie, this helps lift some of the ‘fog of war’ with respect to the intelligence aspect to all of the information/disinformaton floating around Gen. Flynn. (Who, I believe is a true Patriot)
